Ground To Origin / Flush-constrain Origin Planes command

Ground To Origin / Flush-constrain Origin Planes command

We have the "Ground and Root Component" command for this purpose. But it has two major drawbacks:

 

  1. We can't use it on multiple components at once
  2. It does three things at once even if we only want one. (It flush-constrains the origin planes, grounds the component, and moves the component to the top of the browser tree).

 

So this request is for improvements to the "Ground and Root Component" command to allow the following:

 

  1. Let it work on multiple components at once
  2. Let us choose which of three operations to perform each time we use it

Hi,

I don’t know how complicated productivity components are, but I would like to suggest some improvments.
1. Constrain Component Origin. Idea shown in picture below. Parts need to be constrained to a skeleton part. If the skeleton part is moved, then its children are moved. I only need this "add multiple parts" addition to the already existing "Place at Component Origin"
2. Multiple Place at Component Origin. I need the ability to constrain any two IPT/IAM together. Ctrl+Click to select, and use productivity tool "Constrain Components Origin". This tool add Flush constrain to XY-XY, XZ-XZ, YZ-YZ.
